[web2py] why do we populate the auth_user table?

[mart]

Hi,

I may have missed this, so apologies if a repeat...  but would like to
know. Why do we have this happen when using the wizard? There must be
a good reason, just can"t figure it out...

from gluon.contrib.populate import populate
if not db(db.auth_user).count():
     populate(db.auth_user,100)


Thanks,

Mart :)
